CÃcile cherishes the free-spirited moments she and her father share, while plotting her own sexual adventures with a "tall and almost beautiful" law student. But the arrival of her late mothers best friend, Anne, intrudes upon a young girls pleasures. And when a relationship begins to develop between the adults, CÃcile and her lover set in motion a plan to keep them apart...with tragic, unexpected consequences.
